downtown columbia,sc " Famously Hot"

[eightohhthree]

I lived in Columbia for a long time. I have lived in 3 different cities since then. I like to go back and visit old freinds and places. But I am always ready to leave when the time comes.

[ChowHallCommando]

Nice vid and I certainly hope you make more of the same showing different areas of Columbia SC. I'd love to make it my home one day.

Blessings to you

[KiyoneMihoshiFan3]

I live in Lexington which is really close to Columbia! I love this city so much! Im so glad I was born here! :D

[cdrcarl24]

THE SOUF CACK!!!!! IF U CAN SURVIVE HER U CAN MAKE IT ANYWHERE NOT A PLACE FOR EMO'S

[growingup15]

@cdrcarl24 Hey >:( IM EMO! and im making it with no problem

[CrazeeCatrin]

i don't live in America but i went to school at USC, and i miss it : (

[esca8652]

ATL's where it's at in the southeast.

[growingup15]

@esca8652 For now. ATL Is going to Fall one day. But i love ATL Also and Charlotte.

[esca8652]

@growingup15 I hope not. The atlanta area is one of the fastest growing metros in the country, it could become a huge mess, or it could become something much greater, it depends on how the government runs the place. As of now there's a lot of economical support that the city has delta, coca cola, etc. and the city is in debt by 5 billion (I believe), our education system is going, many schools are getting shut down, tuition is going up by 30%, hope scholarship

[esca8652]

@growingup15 they are proposing to increase gpa standards in order to receive the hope scholarship. Several schools are closing to decrease the cities debt. The city is going to create a new stadium, hoping that it will create more jobs. It all sounds pretty bad, but there's a lot of new business that have opened up within the last few years, especially where i live which is like 40 miles from atlanta, and this is a fairly poor town

[growingup15]

@esca8652 Whos a Fairly Poor town. the little town you live in Or Columbia.

and im pretty sure that All cities in America right now are suffereing from stuff and also rising up in some stuff. so its not a Win lose situation its more of a Nuetral thing. But just recently new results showed that Columbia,SC is in the top 40 Economy sastaning cities in the USA! IDK Where Atlanta Stands. i hear they Failed alot during the Economic Downfall! becuase it was Growing so big so Fast. Same with Charlotte

[esca8652]

@growingup15 the little town i live in. And yes that might be why the economy saw a big downfall, since more and more people move into an area with already not enough jobs, atlanta's likely not prepared for the sudden growth. I don' know how charlotte's doing they and raleigh have actually grown more within the last 10 years than that of atlanta.And both those cities have a low gdp compared to atlanta, which apparently that doesn't make all the difference in the world.

[gotthkid2]

@growingup15 so000 is it true you that clumbia has alot of emos in it?

[growingup15]

[sagia2]

well, Columbia is boring. We need alot more here, along with more law enforcement. Very boring for a 14 year old D:

[growingup15]

Your 14. cool and its understandable i have city ideas that can make Columbia better and more fun for young people/ becuase im 18 and most of my life i always wanted fun stuff in Columbia like in other cities. and a Mall would be nice. either Underground or Mix above and under

[SchizoKnight12]

is that along assembly road?

[growingup15]

this is gervais at im riding down on

[Gerling007]

This was a great place to go to high school, go away , come back and then go away again....

[Gerling007]

Really, nothing bad, everything you need. I can just hear the beach from my bedroom now.

[specialk18701]

if by famously hot you mean the weather. Yea it get's ridiculous here sometimes in columbia sc

[DERBENJ]

Columbia would be a nicer place if they fix these roads and replace those worn out street signs (especially those on the traffic light posts downtown). They should also build tall buildings on the other end of downtown between the Bank of America building and the wachovia building to fill in the big gap in the skyline.

[growingup15]

on trust me im all for that the mayor is a good friends of mines and i am having meetings with him to help with the city skyline and so far he likes my idea for 7 new towers being built in the city from 2010-2015 all of them except one over 37 stories tall from 37-60 stories. it would look great in the city by 2015.

[DERBENJ]

7 new towers? That will definitely set the skyline off especially if they're nice and lit up at night. I wish I knew the mayor like that. I have ideas that'll make this city rockin.

[growingup15]

well i can help i can tell the mayor about your ideas and give him your youtube channels so you can get all the credit. i have a few renderings of my ideas if you want to see them on my flickr page.

[803honda]

those big towers attract yankees. I say we tear some of em down. especially the big one cross from the capitol.

[growingup15]

Nah we need attractions here. i think we need more people coming from out of state so we can get money into our state.

i think a growing city is a great city. we just cant grow too fast at one time like dubai.

[jjgreek1]

Is gay marriage legal in SC?

[growingup15]

no its not but i wish i was. im not gay i just think it should be fair for all people to be treated right.

[pithjv]

I remember... It's Gervais Street!

[growingup15]

yeah gervais and huger st.

[pithjv]

Merci pour cette petite visite de Columbia par State Street...!

Thank you, i know this famous city.

Tourist from France.

[growingup15]

cool a french person. columbia is a famously hot city. i dont know how to speak french but thanks for commenting.

[pithjv]

Thank you i'happy! Can you say to me the vidéo street name? Is it State Street or number one Street...? I love Columbia.

[escalatorgeek881]

Have you ever been in those tall buildings. The big white one, the Capitol Center, is 25 stories. You do not need and ID, card or anything to go up to the top on the weekdays during hours. The elevators there are not that fast but they are nice. The big black building is 20 stories and you can get in there during hours on weekdays thought the crosswalk. The elevators there are super fast.

[escalatorgeek881]

If you dress nicely and you go into some of those high-rises. You can possibly get a view from the Capitol Center, the tallest building, or the Wilbur Smith Building. The big, white Wachovia Building is restricted.

[omgmyhead]

i lived between lexington and columbia ever since i was born the first time i ever moved to another place in my whole life was a month ago i live in chicago illnois and i hate it i miss columbia so much i thought i would never miss it either but seeing this i cry i miss it so much i hope to go back and live there again but my husband dosent want to :(

[CADILLACMAC98]

Columbia, S.C. is a great place to be. I enjoy visiting Columbia; it is a nice city, very southern due to its' congenial charm. In fact, I was just there on August 28th when N.C. State got killed by U.S.C. Everyone there was hospitable and the weather, although very humid, is a good deal like the weather in Fayetteville, N.C. where I am from.

[growingup15]

thanks for your good comment dude:)you just cant belive how many bad comments some people put on here.

[Durdmiester]

Heat & Humidity! Born & raised there, moved away, DON'T MISS IT!

[growingup15]

my video my city my area my life born and rised here you need to appriciate your city you was born and raised in.

[growingup15]

columbia,sc " FAMOUSLY HOT" awsome new slogan do yall like it?

[kattgurrl2]

I don't really like our new slogan although it's true!!! I came from NC and was told before I moved here that this was the armpit of the South.... it's hot, but doesn't stink! It's growing on me.

[growingup15]

who told you that crap about the armpits on the south to tell you the truth the armpits of the south is atlanta,ga alot of gangsters there and ghetto. now im black and i know about it and atlanta is a beautful city but not a good place to live.

[jpkuhns]

They spent $75,000 to come up with that piece of crap campaign. Sometimes I wonder about this place in which I live.

[growingup15]

yeah i know i know the mayor personaly and i can talk to him about money spent in the city becuase we need to save money but i love my city. columbia rules.

[haunter112]

Thanks to all of you who moved away!

A city is only as boring as the people in it.

I have never been bored in Columbia.

[Tuyen58]

I was born in columbia, sc. I havent been there in 15 years. I miss it. I hope u can post up more!

[growingup15]

[2744leningrad]

I lived here for the first 28 years of my life and 29 years ago I moved to Wash.,DC and I have never missed it.

[NewsFan2]

It's a pretty nice city. I went there last summer for summer camp at University of South Carolina.

[jtzzy]

[growingup15]

[krazi0klown]

[mrslilpoe]

[Daritto7117]

Nice footage thanks for sharing. I know Columbia is really historic :)

[sdickison]

I lived in this town, it's an ok city. Not much to do there but eat bar-b-que. That's why I moved to Orlando, Florida, never run out of things to do here. And the weather is warmer.
